Paper details:

Yoder and colleagues findings revealed that nurses recognized the importance of applying evidence to practice, however they reported that they needed help in finding the evidence. Results demonstrated that these nurses did not view themselves as active consumers of research. Instead, they looked to unit-based educators or clinical nurse specialists to find, read, analyze, and synthesize the evidence for them. In your practice setting are you an active consumer of research, if so how is this supported in your organization? If not, who helps you to understand the components of EBP and engage in research utilization and EBP implementation? I am not an active consumer of research.
